Its funny that alot of guys yell BROWNING BROWNING BROWNING and curse the Vanguards like the plague when in actuality BOTH rifles are built by the same people in Japan (Miruko/Howa).
The original post asked about the browning a-bolt and the weatherby mark V.The vanguard was not mentioned.However like yourself,I prefer the vanguard over the a-bolt.I also prefer the vanguard over the mark V.
